Answer

The hint for this equation states that "some family members require reeds". Flutes do not use reeds to produce sound, while all other instruments in this group do.

2. Horn + Trumpet + Trombone + Baritone + Tuba = Brass Family

The hint for this equation states that they require a "buzz" to get going. This is because you need to buzz your lips together to produce a sound.

3. Snare Drum + Bass Drum + Xylophone = Percussion Family

The hint for this equation suggests that family members need to be struck to get going. This means each one of the instruments listed require that you hit them with a stick to produce a sound. (The list of Percussion instruments provided in this equation is by no means a complete list.)

Time for me to be the old DOEHEAD. The editors are a bunch of lazy idiotic jerks. They use no new material and I know people send it to them. Put me in charge and I guarantee the followers will greatly increase and new teasers will be the norm. So all you old followers get behind me and oust the lazy editors.

Doehead, don't be so critical and negative. I think with your unpleasant attitude you wouldn't be able to do much to make things better here. Stop complaining! When you left Braingle you were crabby - doesn't look as if you've changed! It's hard to say Welcome Back! Sorry!

If you see this Doehead, please realize that a lot of us are new to this and have never seen them before. You can certainly tell that by the comments. Can't you? We are enjoying everything except your complaints!

Oh, I guess I was a little bit harsh to Doehead. Complaints just sort of bug me. And, Braingle - old and new quizzes - are just a small part, but should be a pleasant part of our lives. So enjoy the quizzes, or just wait until the next day when a new one will show up!
And, AuntieSis - great to see you here!!!

With the hint I got most of them (couldn't get anything before the hint). I couldn't get saxophone because I was thinking it was brass. Couldn't get baritone and would not have ever thought of it. Couldn't get trombone because it was abbreviated "TB" as if it were 2 words... So I guessed tubular bells, even though that makes no sense XD. And I didn't get the final answer (concert band). because I did not know that term or concept. I am not a musician or music student, so I suppose I did well.

I see someone is still complaining. Do you feed yourself or does your mom feed you?There are 16,558 teasers on this site. Click on the "Random" link on your left and take care of your own needs. Have you seen them all? OK create one.

My friend and I have created 7 teasers that the editors are to lazy to read or reply to. That is the reason you have just a few followers. Look at the past years and see the responses. PUT THAT IN YOUR WISDOM BANK!!!!
